NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mbedtls package and not the mbedtls package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.11 relevant fixed versions and status.

A Lucky 13 timing side channel in mbedtls_ssl_decrypt_buf in library/ssl_msg.c in Trusted Firmware Mbed TLS through 2.23.0 allows an attacker to recover secret key information. This affects CBC mode because of a computed time difference based on a padding length.
